Blogs and Introverts


Randomly reading through the New York Times website, I stumble upon this gem, part of an adieu from author Judith Warner to the readers of her Domestic Disturbances blog. It kind of resonates with this blogger and blog reader.

We are all these days — inveterate introverts or not — increasingly disconnected people. What I’ve learned over the past four years is that we can use sites like this to disconnect further, or to transcend our apparent differences and find our common humanity. The pain caused by the first can be acute. The pleasure of the latter is immeasurable.
